Volume #51
It is our great pleasure to be able to bring together such a rich diversity of talented speakers for an evening of cerebral stimulation.
Our speakers are all checking their slides, rehearsing their timings and ensuring their vocal cords are in tip top condition for the next encounter of Ignite Liverpool.
Celebrating people from all walks of life as they talk about their passions, their projects and in some cases, their strange habits…….
Your speakers in no particular order……
Speaker: Cath Holland Talk Title: Why is class everyone’s least favourite diversity and representation category?
Speaker: Jon Daley Talk Title: Liverpool’s Homes of 2050
Speaker: Martin Graff Talk Title: “Preparing for a first romantic date”. This talk will look at some of the research in the field of relationships and romantic attraction, for example, how we talk, the way we move, the company we keep and the ways in which we process humour all contribute to our attractiveness. At the end, this session will give some practical advice on how we can improve our chances of a successful first date.

Speaker: James Aloysius Bellew Talk Title: Bellew’s Dictum – Archimedes Pythagoras and Murphy along with many other scions and soothsayers are famous for laws, theories and homilies that govern our lives. I’m now delighted to add to this lexicon of the lugubrious with the announcement of the global launch of “”Bellew’s Dictum”” on Ignite.
This pearl of wisdom, this genius gem, this nugget of nous, could change your life, fire up your pheromones and light up your libido. It could provide infinite insight to your innermost indiscretions. It might inflame your smouldering desires, transform your transgressions, be a sinecure for your sins and even energise your erections. Who knows? Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! So what is… “”Bellew’s Dictum”” – Be at Leaf on the 11th Sept to find out!
Speaker: Em Wills Talk Title: How to create an anti-cult. It is about how we need spirituality and magic to be reinfused into our modern lives, but we need to be prepared to build community and spot narcissistic bad actors.
Speaker: Tom Williamson Talk Title: 9/11 Conspiracies
